chains a ghetto...extend your a arms

chains in the front are to keep your ball joints from braking.. cant hurt to run em i think theyre to noisey ,as for the back chains go to a bridge that u gotta make u can add that on any time its not required to have swithes thats what i think...hope this helps

wait till you start hopping!! Chains are a good thing! The only other way to not bust a ball joint is bump stops!

 

[capriceman75]

i'll go with the chains.im just enjoyed having them on my mc

I would say you can hop to about 50 inches safely without chains as long as you continually check your ball joints....over that....it gets scary. Time for chains.

i got an idea to save my ball joints and keep the front end together and it does not require chains...

there aint gonna be no pit bulls under my car

 

[stevie d]

im gunna be running chains in the front of my hopper if it saves my ball joints it will be a good thing ,ive also extended the top arms 1 inch and fully reinforced both top and bottom arms in 1/4 plate

Does this regal have a full reinforced frame under it or? Because with 10 batterys and 3 pumps, I dont think the stock frame will hold it if your planning on hoping it.

 

[BIGDOLLABILL]

Chains hold your lower a arm up if a ball joint busts...therefore your spring dont fly out and fuck up your ride even more, and keeps the car from landing on top the lower a arm if it is pointed directly down or chewing the rim and tire up ( cali-swangin style! ) lol

 

[DiRtYsOuTh ReGaL]

Thanks a lot to all ya homies uguys really answered alot of questions i hadn't even asked. N e more suggestions would really be appreciated. Oh and ALOW1 i am going to reinforce the whole frame don't wanna f**k my ride up that fast lol i do wanna enjoy it for a while. Again thanks alot for the help homies. :biggrin:

yeah that would help another question when you chain the front you run a chain to your lower arm to the frame right and do you lock up your front then weld the chains or do you chain it of a little under lock out?
